A trained silversmith, most of her pieces are first fabricated in silver and then molded for casting. Her work is created using the lost wax casting method, combined with other ancient and modern techniques, creating textured sterling silver and ancient bronze jewelry. Kilgore is a 5th generation Arizonan from a family of artists, art collectors, and gallerists. From a young age she was immersed in the art world thanks to her family and is well traveled but finds herself consistently drawn back to her native desert. She attended The Orme School and DePaul University where she garnered national awards in jewelry making. Influenced by the artists and other jewelers in her family, she grew up watching her uncle Jesse Monongye make exquisite jewelry, as well as her mother Linda Margaret Kilgore, a renowned steel sculptor. Kilgore has always been drawn to the medium of metal eventually studying casting and fabrication techniques with a Navajo silversmith, Dorothy Jeffrey.
